Chapter 26 Top 5 of the Xuan Tian Ranking, on par with the prodigies of all ages!
Before the Xuan Tian Ranking.
Li Wudao's eyes were burning as he scanned from the last person upwards, reading ten lines at a glance.
Three thousand, two thousand five hundred, two thousand...
It passed by Murong Yan and Wu Shaotian.
Even after seeing Jiang Churan, his name still didn't appear.
Li Wudao's eyelids twitched slightly, his heart filled with both nervousness and anticipation.
to here,
There are only two possibilities: either he ranks higher than Jiang Churan, or he wasn't even on the list.
He prefers the former.
With a hint of excitement, the boy continued to look up, gazing even higher up at the top of the stone tablet.
Ninety or fifty, nine hundred...
No, it still hasn't appeared.
In the end, Li Wudao had to step back several meters to see the name on the stone tablet.
Five breaths later.
The boy's gaze remained fixed on a spot on the stone tablet, and he did not move for a long time.
"What's wrong, Brother Li?"
"Let's go over and have a look."
Not far away, Qiu Zishi and Wang Zhao noticed something amiss and approached, puzzled.
"Brother Li... what are you looking at so intently?"
Akiko Minoru stood next to the boy, following his gaze, and looked up at him curiously.
next moment,
His pupils widened as if shocked, and he stammered:
"Brother Li, you... this..."
Seeing his expression, Wang Zhao was puzzled.
This Xuan Tian Ranking has nothing to do with them, so what's so interesting about it?
Could it be that the two of them conspired to make fun of him?
"What do you mean, 'you'? 'this'... You're not going to fool me this time!"
Wang Zhao glared at him, giving him an irritating look, as if to say, "Don't try to fool me."
"No, I'm not lying to you. You'll understand when you see for yourself."
Qiu Zishi stretched out a trembling arm and pointed to the top of the Xuan Tian Ranking, her heart filled with uncertainty.
My friend doesn't seem to be faking it.
Wang Zhao suppressed his confusion and looked suspiciously at the Xuan Tian Ranking.
He wanted to see what could possibly cause the usually composed Akiko Shi to lose her composure like this.
After a while,
A burst of traditional Chinese music rose up in front of the Illusionary Demon Tower.
"Fuck!"
"Dude, really? This is fucking outrageous!"
Wang Zhao slurred his words with a high level of profanity, staring intently at the top of the Xuan Tian Ranking, his speech becoming somewhat incoherent.
“Li Wudao, sixteen years old, peak of the Blood Transformation Realm, fifteenth level, one hundred and twenty-five breaths.”
Ranked 498th on the Xuan Tian Ranking!
At that moment, the two young disciples stood at attention like clay statues, staring blankly at the name, unable to believe it.
Five thousand years later, no disciple of the sect has ever made it into the top 1,000 of the Xuan Tian Ranking; too many have fallen from grace.
And around the top 500,
The disciples on the list lived tens of thousands of years ago, far removed from their own era. That was the most prosperous period of the Xuantian Sect, when everyone was like a dragon and geniuses emerged one after another.
Li Wudao had only been in the sect for half a month when he was able to enter the top 500, standing shoulder to shoulder with the most monstrous geniuses in the sect's history, which made them feel dazed and unreal.
"Brother Li, you really made it through the fifteenth floor?!"
Akiko swallowed hard, her face growing increasingly horrified.
He suddenly realized a problem.
If the information recorded on the list is correct, wouldn't that mean that Li Wudao has the combat power to defeat enemies across a major realm?
That is,
Li Wudao's strength is at least comparable to the peak of the True Essence Realm!
"probably."
Li Wudao smiled faintly, but a strange feeling also lingered in his heart.
He originally thought his ranking was similar to Jiang Churan's, maybe even a few places ahead.
Unexpectedly, it surpassed it by a large margin.
However, it felt pretty good to beat the young empress.
Wang Zhao also realized the seriousness of the situation, his expression shifting constantly, filled with suspicion.
As far as he knew, some disciples who had been disciples for two years were only at the True Essence Realm.
Even if someone can fight beyond their level, they can only be one or two minor realms above their level to win; it's impossible for them to be this abnormal!
"gone."
Li Wudao did not linger and left gracefully.
"Old Qiu, do you really think there are people in the world who are so monstrous?"
Wang Zhao watched the boy's retreating figure, hesitating to speak, "Do you think it could be...?"
"Are you saying there's something wrong with the Xuan Tian Ranking?"
Akiko thought for a moment, then shook her head bitterly.
"It shouldn't be. The Illusionary Demon Tower is a treasure left by the founding patriarch, and the Tower Spirit's assessment has never been wrong over the years."
After saying that, the two fell silent.
What they saw today was beyond their comprehension, and the shock was so profound that they would never forget it for the rest of their lives.
"Um... are we still going to challenge the tower?"
Akiko broke the deathly silence.
"No, I'm not in the mood. I want to be alone."
Wang Zhao shook his head, deeply questioning the meaning of life.
"Me too... Never mind, I'd better focus on my cultivation first, otherwise I'm afraid I'll fall too far behind Brother Li in this newcomer competition."
Akiko sighed.
The two retraced their steps, remaining silent and preoccupied the entire way.
.......
at the same time.
After leaving the Illusionary Demon Tower, Li Wudao headed straight for the Inner Affairs Hall.
Having made it past the fifteenth floor, we can't let those rewards go to waste.
Just as he walked up the steps in front of the hall,
Two true disciples walked towards us, brushing past each other.
After Li Wudao entered the hall, the two men's expressions changed slightly, and they stopped in their tracks.
"Brother Deng, that man seems to be Li Wudao, doesn't he?"
Tang Yi looked back and said uncertainly.
"It's him. After waiting for so many days, we finally caught this kid."
Deng Lin's eyes were cold.
"What do you want to do? He is, after all, a true disciple; we can't go too far."
Tang Yi pondered for a moment and said, "If it doesn't work, just bully them a little. As long as it gets the job done, it'll be fine."
"Don't worry, I already have a way to deal with that kid..."
Deng Lin's eyes darted around, his brows relaxed, as if he had an idea.
"You stay here and keep an eye on things. I'll go make some preparations. Contact me immediately if anything changes."
A cold smile appeared on his lips as he turned and strode away.
In the main hall.
Li Wudao went to the counter and handed his identity token to an elder.
"Redeem rewards from the Illusionary Demon Tower."
The elder leaned back in his chair, glanced at him, and said casually:
"Young man, you look unfamiliar. You must have just started learning. It's really impressive that you've made it past the fifth level at your age."
You can receive a reward every five floors in the Illusionary Demon Tower.
Seeing that Li Wudao was so young, he was undoubtedly a newly initiated disciple, and based on past experience, he was usually only at the fifth level.
The boy didn't speak, but waited quietly.
After what had happened, he was too lazy to waste any more words. He figured no one would believe him anyway, and he'd probably just be seen as a fool.
"This newcomer is a bit introverted."
With that thought in mind, the elder began to examine the information in the token.
After a while,
The scene in front of the Illusionary Demon Tower was perfectly replicated inside the main hall.
“This…how is this possible?!”
The elder of the Internal Affairs Hall stood up abruptly and shouted in disbelief.
The sixteen-year-old boy, who had only recently joined the sect, had already conquered the fifteenth level of the Illusionary Demon Tower—a truly astonishing feat!
He'd rather believe that sows can climb trees or that the sun rises in the west than that.
"???"
His shout immediately drew the attention of all the disciples, whose expressions were filled with confusion.
What's wrong with this old man in broad daylight?
The other elders' expressions changed slightly.
This Elder Sun is highly senior and never shouts or yells. Why would he suddenly lose his composure?
What on earth just happened?
"you......"
At this moment, Elder Sun's body trembled as if he had experienced something terrible, and he could not breathe properly.
"Elder, I'm in a hurry, could you please hurry up...?"
Li Wudao put a hand to his forehead, feeling utterly speechless.
If this continues to shock everyone, he won't be able to do anything else.
Upon hearing this, Elder Sun realized what was happening, took a deep breath, and apologized repeatedly.
"I apologize, I lost my composure, I hope Master Li will forgive me."
The old man's face immediately became sincere, and he handed the token back with both hands, his smile brighter than a chrysanthemum.
"Please wait a moment, I will get you the reward item right away."
Having said that, he jogged towards the depths of the hall.
This scene stunned all the disciples, who couldn't help but rub their eyes.
what's the situation?
They actually saw respect and awe on Elder Sun's serious face, and even a hint of flattery.
Instantly, all eyes fell on Li Wudao, and people began to speculate about his identity.
Some people believe that he is a newly accepted disciple of a certain peak master.
Some even suspected that this handsome young man was the illegitimate son of a core elder or even the peak master of the sect...
For a moment, the disciples had different thoughts, and the huge hall became completely silent.
